Secret amour
 (Sung text for setting by J. Leguerney)
 See original
Language: French (Français) 
Bien que vos yeux brûlent mon âme
Belle Phillis, je vous promets
De receler si bien ma flamme
Qu'on ne la connaîtra jamais.

Je tiens ma bouche si bien close
Que même au plus fort des douleurs,
D'un soupir seulement je n'ose
Donner de l'air à mes chaleurs.

Non ! on ne m'entend jamais plaindre,
Quoique je souffre nuit et jour ;
Si bien qu'il ne vous faut point craindre
Que je parle de mon Amour.
